Steinberg UR44C — Portable 6-in/4-out USB Audio Interface

This desktop USB audio interface serves producers, songwriters, and small bands needing studio-grade capture on the move. Four Class-A D-PRE preamps feed 32-bit/192 kHz converters, and USB 3.1 over USB-C keeps latency low across Mac, Windows, and iOS. Bundled Cubase AI software means sessions start the moment the unit is connected.

What Sets the UR44C Apart

Yamaha's SSP3 DSP chip runs zero-latency monitoring with REV-X reverb, the Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip, and Guitar Amp Classics — all on hardware, not the host CPU. Loopback merges incoming signals with DAW playback for live streaming, and two independent headphone outputs let engineer and performer monitor on separate mixes.

Inputs and Preamps

Four combo XLR/jack inputs handle microphones, line sources, and instruments, with Hi-Z switching on channels 1–2 for direct guitar and bass. +48 V phantom power covers all four channels for condenser microphones.

• Number of Preamps: 4 Class-A D-PRE — Yamaha's discrete design for transparent capture
• Inputs: 4 combo XLR/jack + 2 line + MIDI IN — covers vocals, instruments, and MIDI controllers in one rig
• Phantom Power: +48 V on all 4 channels — drives any condenser microphone

Conversion and Connectivity

32-bit depth and 192 kHz sample rate preserve dynamic range and high-frequency detail for professional mixing. USB 3.1 Gen 1 / USB-C delivers low-latency performance with USB 2.0 backward compatibility, and Class Compliant mode activates automatically on iPad or iPhone.

• Sample Rate: 192 kHz — captures high-frequency detail in vocals and acoustic instruments
• Bit Depth: 32-bit AD/DA — preserves dynamic range and lowers converter noise floor
• Dynamic Range Input: 102 dB — quiet preamp stage that won't add hiss to quiet sources

Outputs, Monitoring, and DSP

Four 1/4" TRS line outputs plus a main monitor pair feed studio monitors and outboard gear, while two front-panel headphone jacks with independent volume knobs handle cue mixes.

• Outputs: 4 line TRS + main TRS + MIDI OUT + 2 headphone jacks + USB-C — flexible routing for monitors and external gear
• Onboard DSP: SSP3 with REV-X, Morphing Channel Strip, Guitar Amp Classics — zero-latency effects without loading the host CPU
• Headphone Outputs: 2 independent 1/4" jacks with dedicated level controls — engineer and artist on separate mixes
